Moscow Police Detains Oppositionists

Police detained 12 participants in an unsanctioned rally in Moscow’s Triumfalnaya Square. Representatives of the opposition attempt to hold a rally in Triumfalnaya Square in support of Article 31 of the Constitution on the 31st day every month. The Moscow authorities almost invariably ban and disperse the rally. A police source said, “twelve participants in an unsanctioned rally in Triumfalnaya Square were detained on Wednesday for breach of public order.” They were taken by the police and may face administrative penalties. 30 journalists covered the unsanctioned rally.
